Hike to North America's largest dinosaur track site with footprints over 150 million years old. Located in Comanche National Grassland outside the town of La Junta in southeastern Colorado, there are over 1,300 footprints from multiple species of dinosaur from the Jurassic period.
Along the way you can see the remnants of old homestead cabins and the late 1800's Dolores Mission and cemetery, petroglyphs and maybe even some tarantulas. The hike itself is long (11 miles roundtrip to the track site), but mostly flat. Beware the high temperatures and sun exposure, particularly from late spring thru early fall.
We weren't sure what to expect from the dinosaur tracks, but were thoroughly impressed with what we found when we arrived.

Learning to Travel, is a travel video & social media company formed by Joyce & Daryle Dickens to help others identify and realize their dreams of “traveling more”. After years of “traveling more” talk with too little action, we finally went all-in on a life-changing 14-month journey to 23 countries and 23 US states. Since then, we’ve heard far too many people say “I wish I could do that” which has made us realize that most people need a little push to believe their travel dreams are possible and a little guidance to turn those dreams into reality. That inspiration and guidance is what LearningToTravel.com is all about.
